One of the main challenges of modern astrophysics is to understand the mechanisms responsible for the formation of galaxies and for their properties, as we see them today. Galaxy evolution results both from dynamics of dark matter on large scales and from small scale processes like gas dynamics, cooling, star formation, stellar evolution and

PREP-EST is a project funded by the Canary Islands Government under a direct grant awarded on grounds of public interest. The objective of PREP-EST is the realization of the preliminary design of systems and subsystems of the telescope to a sufficient level that allows starting the detailed design stage and, in a next phase, the beginning of the

The project focuses on the analysis of the scaling-laws of star forming regions in the circumnuclear zone -central kpc- of a sample of six nearby galaxies selected with different star formation morphology (disk, ring or nuclear) and host galaxy type (Sa to EO). The project relies on an unique high-angular resolution dataset that resolves - in the

The project will explore the detection of anomalies in large surveys using deep neural networks.

This project is a continuation of the CAMINA project (ProID2017010112). The science objective is the compositional characterization of asteroids, that we have been doing by means of three actions: (1) our participation in the two space missions that have visited and taken a sample of material from two near-Earth asteroids (NEAs), OSIRIS-REx (NASA)

SHARKS (Southern H-ATLAS Regions Ks-band Survey; IP: Helmut Dannerbauer) is a deep near-infrared survey of a 300-square-degree region of the sky being carried out with the VISTA telescope and its VIRCAM instrument at ESO (European Southern Observatory in Chile) in the Ks-band (at 2 micrometer). With SHARKS we expect to detect about 20-30 million
